About AVCO Technologies

AVCO Technologies is East Tennessee’s
premier resource for state-of-the-art professional Audio Visual
presentation, projection and sound reinforcement systems. For the
past eighteen (18) years, we have completed projects offering
off-the-shelf single components to complete audio visual (AV) systems
design and installation. Our company may specialize in AV system
design and installation, but we are in no way limited to those
services.

Because we are customer-driven, AVCO strives to provide all of the
resources necessary to make the AV experience enjoyable and
dynamic. Therefore, our system design and installation venues
have grown to include service and maintenance of all AV installations,
equipment sales, rentals, and all components and parts necessary to
support the thousands of installations of AV systems in the Tennessee
Valley.

Our products and system integration solutions often include a mix of
various integrated technologies: audio and sound reinforcement,
professional video, telecommunications and telecommunications networks,
and computers and computer network technologies. Our business
longevity has allowed us to develop an extensive vendor supply chain
with relationships lasting since the inception of AVCO Technologies in
1988.

We provide personal assistance to our customers with the selection,
application, training and integration of products and systems from our
knowledgeable staff. Our designers analyze the needs of a client,
suggest several design paths to consider, provide demonstrations and
site visits to similar installations, address the requirements for the
system and ultimately provide a well documented and straightforward
scope of work for the project. Should AVCO and the client enter
into an installation contract (after the design phase), AVCO field
service representatives install and test the system assuring customer
satisfaction.

"Our guarantee is that when we have specified a product or system, it will meet your needs or we will work until it does."

AVCO Technologies' Specialties: Our design team
specializes in evaluating the unique needs of our clients and providing
cost effective and innovative solutions. Every application is
unique and seldom does a “cookie cutter” design fit each
clients needs. From concept drawings to installation, the AVCO
team provides the right products and expertise to design and install
the system needed to meet the client’s requirements. Our
designers are abreast of leading edge technologies and are trained and
skilled to specify only the best equipment for the project. Our
resources include, but are not limited to the following venues:

Audio and Sound Reinforcement Systems

Projection and Presentation Video Systems

Sound Masking and Sound Absorption

Control Systems with AV Automation

Theatrical Lighting

CATV and CCTV Solutions

Video Conferencing Integration and Multi-media Classrooms

AVCO Technologies' Products, Services and Project
Management: The advent of the ‘information age’ has changed
the way the world listens and learns. Churches, corporations and
institutions must get the message across in the shortest amount of
time…capturing and holding the attention of the associate,
client and consumer. There are many products and services
available that serve to grab the attention of the user. AVCO
sells, services, rents and supports only the finest in AV, sound, and
computer presentation equipment. We represent the best
manufacturers in the industry including:

We are committed to supplying the industry’s premier products:
offering quality workmanship and premium technology. AVCO
provides the right products and expertise to design the system that a
client needs. We work within a client’s budget while
providing the most up-to-date technology. Our designers hold
certificates and degrees in many vocations.

Because AVCO specializes in complete system design and installation
projects, our project management skills are of the utmost importance to
our business, and ultimately, our clients. We have installed
systems at hundreds of churches and corporations and count our success
due to our focus on four main project management areas: scope,
time, budget control and service. In a nutshell our project
management goals and objectives are as follows:

Planning the scope of the project

Project meeting with client to discuss design and budgets

Analysis and design of objectives and events

Assessing any risks involved

Project budget estimation

Allocation of resources

Organizing the work

Acquiring any equipment or product needed

Assigning tasks to the individual project team members

Directing activities

Controlling project execution

Tracking and reporting project progress

Quality management within the installation

Issues management

Issues solving

Defect prevention

Project testing and acceptance period (burn-in)

Service after the project closure

The next important objective after the system has been installed and
tuned is service. A customer will not remain a customer if they
are uncomfortable with the service after the project completion.
AVCO is different than most AV companies. We understand the need
to have a reliable partner just a telephone call away, especially if
the customer experiences an emergency or has a special event.

For this reason, AVCO offers on-site and depot repair
services. We provide a toll free number and automated answering
system for warranty and service calls on a 24/7 basis. Our
standard warranty is one year on our installations, which includes a
loaner program if you purchased the complete system from AVCO.
One of the most successful programs that we implemented many years ago
is the FREE projector loaner program for presentation systems and
installations.

We also offer a team approach to technical support, user training,
and preventive maintenance and “tune-up” services.
Our documentation is second to none when the system is complete and has
completed a review and acceptance test by the client. Once the
project is complete and the client has approved the installation, our
team delivers completed project documentation including detailed set-up
sheets, a bill of material, cut sheets, AutoCAD drawings and users
manuals for all of the products included within the project.

AVCO Technologies' Testing and Training: Whether
in a new design or an existing project, the AVCO Technology team can
assist in enhancing an AV or Presentation system by proper calibration
of the Audio, Video, and Lighting systems.

AVCO Technologies' Consulting and Architectural
Coordination: AVCO Technologies utilizes industry-standard software and
document methods to produce a design product that is easily coordinated
with the architectural and engineering trades. In fact we have
worked with local architecture firms and engineering firms as
consultants for many systems.
